If James Bond needed a backpack to tote his textbooks and laptop to physics class, I bet a Black Ember is what he'd choose. Modular, waterproof, and very, very black, these bags are customizable with an array of accessories and attachments to cater to individual needs and tastes. Backpacks come in 15-, 20-, and 25-liter capacities, all with magnetic/mechanical locking mechanisms (mag-locks) for affixing Black Ember's Mag-Lock Pouches. Pouch selections include a Military Pouch, Hard Case, Small and Large Admin Cases, Fold-Out Laptop Sleeve (for airport security), and Roll-Top Expander. Straps and handles are also available in a variety of styles and colors for further storage and carrying versatility.

Black Ember's midsize pack, the 20-liter TL Pack, is a top loader with a pair of vertical bonded and bar-tacked zippers running along its upper sides. With no accessories attached, it features 20 liters of storage space, padded internal laptop and tablet sleeves, and a pair of waterproof exterior gear pockets. Its shoulder harness and track-style sternum straps are removable on days you want to carry the bag briefcase-style with its included leather handle, attachable to either the side or the top.

The 15-liter Slate Pack and 25-liter Neoruk Pack have slightly different designs to reflect their smaller and larger capacities, but both are also fitted with extensive options for customization and storage. All packs have at least two mag-lock enabled quad connectors on the front, and buyers can specify the addition of further connectors at checkout.

Maybe you've never heard of Google's Project Ara. More likely, you've heard of it all too often. Heard of it like you've heard of Sasquatch. Some swear it's real. Some of those even swear they've seen the myth in person...

Velomacchi's Roll-Top Waterproof Backpack has motorcycles in mind, but isn't just for motorcycles. The bag will cover you, or rather, cover your goods and gear, on any type of bike you ride, and over any type of terrain...

Geez, here's a backpack that has as many fancy names associated with it as it does fancy pockets for holding gadgets. Organization brand Cocoon (that's #1) has released its SLIM (#2) tech backpack with MacBook Pro (#3)...

Dave Hakkens has the perfect cell phone for you. Or rather, he has a Santa Claus sack of bloks you can use to build the perfect cell phone for you. It's called Phoneblok. It's genius. For as many reasons as bloks comprising...

I was recently at a bar for happy hour and it was jam packed with 1) Amazon employees and 2) Amazon employees' backpacks. I felt like I was at Adult Latch Key. They got let out of work but their mamas couldn't pick them...
